Pam,
I had surgery on April 18th with Dr. Aceves...we missed each other by a couple of days! How funny! Also, I used to live in Tacoma. I now live in Orlando, Florida. I thought Dr. Aceves was great. I hope you are doing well.

Well, I am almost 4 months out, and have a few updates to report. First, if you are getting sleeved in Mexico, I highly recommend purchasing enough Nexium to last 6 months (at least).

But my clothes fit better - yea!!!! Cannot wait to go down a

I am one-day post op, and am doing pretty well. I am definitely sore, but have walked several times, and slept a lot, although it is a bit difficult to get comfortable. I am really glad I did this, though! I am looking forward to the future! So far, I think the hardest part is deciding whether or not to do the surgery. So many emotions involved. Will keep you posted. My doctor is Dr. Alberto Aceves.
